Honestly i'm glad Versacci brought that up because i didn't get hyped about the original Destiny based on the same reason.

I had no plans to get a PS4 at a time until a mate bought one for me lol ( obviously i had to pay him back) i got Destiny with it and i enjoyed playthrough all the PVE stuff etc etc and thought it was a good game.

So i really didn't go into it thinking it was going to be some amazing next gen experience that some were sold on.

Maybe if i got in all the pre release hype i might feel differently about the game, but i genuinely don't hate it like some people online seem to.

I still play Destiny 1 religiously.....though I'm on a hiatus right now while I sink time into Mass Effect Andromeda.

So much talk about the DLCs and how the PvE content rolled out, but honestly my biggest reason for continuing to play this game has been its amazing community. I've ran strikes, nightfalls, crucibles, raids and even just sparrow racing with some of the coolest guys around. I've helped fathers help their sons get their first raid completes (a daughter one time too), and so many have helped me get that sweet, sweet loot.

Yeah there were times when I just grinding the shit out of patrols, heroic strikes, random quests etc just to inch my LL, but with so many LFG groups around like the100 or r/DestinytheGame, I have honestly never had issues finding people to raid or strike with.

So yeah Destiny 2 is day 1 for me. I've already budgeted it out of my expenses for whenever it comes, especially the version with the most content. I'm a little sad to give up my vault in the stuff I have in it, but really excited to start over fresh again and re-immerse myself.

I feel like the type of game it is from a PVE standpoint helps that attitude, everyone is trying to achieve the same goal and want to help each other out.

Where as in a really competitive environment like CoD or BF where everyone is trying to beat each other it can breed quite a toxic environment.

Yeah this story was what I had in mind when writing my post, Mole. So sad, but really inspiring. Never had the honor of playing with Mike, but I knew of him and his story before he passed away and had hoped we'd cross paths, but it never happened. The outpouring of support was amazing. There's quite a few of those stories out there. Another one that I really liked is about the Seattle Police Department issuing open invites to join them for NFs. I actually took them up on that offer one time and it was a great night. Could hardly tell those guys were cops. Got 3 exotic drops from 3 runs too. So worth it.
